The country-to-city stretch
Deborah Pohorski has recently arrived in Vancouver from Yasodhara Ashram on the shores of Kootenay Lake. What is it like to move from a q
uiet ashram in the forest to a city bustling with noise and activity? Here is a glimpse of what Deborah is learning.
“I’ve been here for 8.5 days now. I feel more settled because I’ve learned the basics of getting from one place to another. It’s so interesting, this newness! And I wonder what makes things not new? I find being in a new place heightens my awareness. I want to remember this later because that’s what yoga is about—expanding awareness.
“Everything is so present it’s easy to find metaphors for exploration. When I’m unlocking the doors and gates to get into Radha in the morning, I have an anxiety about setting off the alarm. The locks and alarm are so tangible, and they offer a really good metaphor about fear and how to overcome it. There are other fears on other levels. When things are new, I’m more on a survival level. I’m facing the unknown. We’re all facing death and that’s an unknown, too, so unlocking the doors is a practice of facing my fears.
“For me, I know I’m here as a choice and that I can expand into my learning. I feel there is something that is holding my entire experience, and I can enjoy the challenge. There’s the choice to enjoy it or feel clumsy. Nothing is practiced yet. On the street I may turn one way when I should really be going the other way.
“I had a thought today about separation in the context of the work we’re doing. I’ve been attached to the Ashram. Is it really true that time and space separate us? Or could it be that there is something not limited by time and space? Sometimes it seems Iike I’m in a dream. At satsang we sing the same bhajans and I see some of the same people I knew from the Ashram. It’s the same and it’s not limited. I think it will be a help to me to explore this understanding a little more.”

This is another example of how time and space are relative, I feel like you are right here speaking to me with this reflection. The Light offers us ways of being together without being physically together. Thank-you Deborah!
In the One Light
